So, could I show up and be on a team, but basically just sit and
watch with a disturbingly dumb, but somewhat excited, look on my
face? I'd at least do what people told me to do and enjoy the
learning experience.<br>

competition that we went to in April, with two major
exceptions. First, I got confirmation that we can run
as a team this time, so there will be more learning
opportunities. Second, it's against high schoolers
and not the last round of the college level, so it'll
be easier and hopefully a lot more fun.<br>

the technical side, they need attackers for the

I'll be there and can help you out. There are lots
of tools that we can use for free and, if you're
interested, we could work out a way for you to try
out the commercial tools that I use on engagements.
If you ever wanted to get your hands dirty on the

On the business side, they need people to serve on
what they call "green" team. If you want to see
what our customers see when they are attacked, you
can join this team. You would basically hang around
with other people, use the systems that the students
build and complain when they don't work right.
There is no technical skill required to do this, and
it might give you a first-hand experience that you
could leverage in future discussions with clients.</span></font><font
